Experiences to expand your trip in Japan
A taste of Japanese culture
Tradition
In touch with its past
Heavily influenced by Chinese culture, Japan values “purity” and tradition over anything but is still flexible to change as seen during the Edo and Meiji periods.
Pockets of history, tradition and custom sit alongside the modern, new and innovative Japan.
It can make you smile and leave you in awe, a country where old meets new and each moment is a memory you’ll treasure forever.
Experience
Forge your very own kogatana (small sword).
Cuisine
Washoku or mouthful Japan
Washoku is an approach to achieving nutritional balance and aesthetic harmony at table; both a culinary philosophy and a set of practical guidelines for preparing food.
It rests on the “Power of Five” an important number in Japanese culture, each having five components: Goshiki (five colors), Gomi (five flavors), Goho (five methods), Gokan (five senses). The final set of fives is called the gokan no mon — a Buddhist doctrine referring to the state of mind to be maintained while partaking of the food.

The idea that Japanese people have a particularly close relationship to nature, which Westerners have somehow lost, is deeply ingrained in how the Japanese perceive themselves.

Art
Aesthetics differences
The Japanese art includes a wide range of styles and means of expression, including ceramics, sculpture, painting and calligraphy on silk and paper, Ukiyo-e woodblock prints, origami and, more recently, manga, digital art along with a myriad of other types of artwork.
Since the Meiji era, Japan has been subject to sudden invasions of new and alien ideas, following a long period of contacts minimized with the outside world.
Nowadays, Japan’s contributions to contemporary art, fashion and architecture, are a blend of traditions with modern, global, and multi-cultural bent.
